| The status of lions and their threats in Niassa Reserve, Mozambique | |
| 2012 Full Book | |
NCP has been working in Niassa National Reserve (NNR) since 2003 with the mission to secure lions and other large carnivores in NNR by promoting coexistence between carnivores and people and directly mitigating human induced threats. this report is a technical report that provides analysis of the scientific data collected by NCP between 2007 and 2011. Our data suggest that the growth of the lion population and their prey are being suppressed by off-take and mortality primarily due to bushmeat snaring. The additional off-takes from sport hunting, and retaliatory killing are additive to the mortality from snaring and may be exacerbaiting the problem. |
